What would have changed, though? The "kinectless" units are all designed to work if you plug a kinect into the thing. There wouldn't be plans to sell them stand-alone unless the hardware was unchanged. Moreover, this only seems to happen after the mandatory system update on these units. That's also curious.This sucks. It has to be a hardware issue because everyone I know owns an X1 pre kinectless(lol) and we are all quiet on the homefront here!
You know what's funny and this is slightly OT, is that I get a similar noise like this with my PC's graphics card. You'll hear these weird "squeals" and "high-pitched noises" depending on what game, what kinda of load the gfx card is under. Some games, it doesn't even happen at all and that's the kicker there..
Well, thats what has been suggested here, mostly by BruiserBear.
Thats kinda why id like a couple more XBO owners with Kinects to chime in. If its just a Software issue, people can just put up with it, buy a Kinect or pack their console away till its fixed.
But if its a hardware issue, they need to be sending their consoles off to Microsoft.

Sorry, saw your tv and all I could think about was the PSP Go.
Hope you, and everybody else, can resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Yeah, it's that Sony 3D monitor, I like that it has a PSP Mode to make those games full screen when you use the component cables.

That's interesting. Possible that this could be the new YLOD?
I don't know, it's strange. I have a launch period unit that emits the exact same sound, even in standby, only it's really, really quiet, to the point that I had to kneel right next to it after watching one of these videos to recognize it. My Xbox 360 Slim, which I consider to be a very quiet console, is louder when turned on, and both are mostly drowned in ambient noise, even when I close my window (it's usually open).
Something is happening here, I don't know why the loudness varies so much.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, nobody has had a console fail because of this, it's just annoying noise.

What? You just let what could be something that's not a huge thing make you return it and you haven't opened it yet to play? Ha.. you should return it. Who waits days to open up their brand new consoles? This is wild to see all the people in here all "concerned" now and now NOT going to buy an X1 because of this. lmao, classic.
Ha ha.. great joke.
#Xboxnoise is worrying.
Original Xbox: needed a worldwide power supply replacement because of bad soldering.
Xbox 360: RROD fun
Xbox One: Makes weird loud noises
This fucking company!
Uh, it's more than just an annoying noise. It should not sound like that. It sounds like it's about to keel over and die.
I'm following this closely because I have an SO Bundle pre-ordered....which is a Kinectless bundle.
Just wanted to say that i replaced my xbox today at the store were i bought it.
And it makes no noise!
What about in standby?

Just tried standby, i had to put my ear against the console and then i heard very very little.
Luck of the draw! I'm jealous.
What's the Lot #
It's the same noise, though, right?

Well they aren't hardware masters.
Threads like this are sometimes why I hate the internet.
I just got an XB1 a few days ago and so far it's been quiet as a church mouse (so quiet to the point that I'm worried it isn't even working because I don't hear a thing). Now I'm worried that the problem is eventually going to pop up, because I'm paranoid about those things.
More worrying is the lack of anything official about the issue.

Hi RealSenjuSage,
We have heard that a small number of Xbox One owners in some situations may hear a noise from the console that is too loud. While this does not affect the safety or functionality of the system, we’re asking customers who believe they are experiencing this issue to contact Xbox Support: http://support.xbox.com. At the request of our customers, we will exchange those consoles for new systems.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide feedback and for your participation in the preview

An official response from the thread I created on preview forums.
There you have it. Doesn't affect safety or functionality of the system, but you should go ahead and contact xbox support, and, at your request, they'll provide new systems.
We have one now.
No offense but there you don't have it. There's people on the official support forum that claim MS sent the console back with the message that nothing was wrong.

Is your Xbox One making too much noise? Send it to Microsoft and they'll give you a new one.
The folks behind the Xbox say they're offering replacements for the "small number of customers" affected by a noise issue that seems to have grown more prevalent after the Xbox One launched in a number of new countries including Japan, Portugal, and Greece earlier this month. Over the past few days, people have taken to various web forums to complain about their Xbox Ones making abnormal amounts of noise right out of the box.
I asked Microsoft about the issue today, and they sent over the following statement:

Kind of a pain, but hey, hardware is hardware.
You can reach the author of this post by e-mail at jason@kotaku.com or on Twitter at @jasonschreier.
I think they can fix this with an software update, but Microsoft must be aware of it. Media haven't picked it up yet, and complaining to support on Twitter doesn't help.

I bet that if you washed your dirty Doritos hands before playing your Xbox wouldn't make any noises.
My cousin bought one and his one doesn't make noises.

Watched the video. Surely a bad batch because nobody would design something with that flaw in this day and age, certainly not an entertainment item.
This isn't something you can patch away, it's a component physically creating noise.
Besides some people may deny, I am pretty sure that this little noise in standby is normal. I have the same with my version (with Kinect) since day one, and heard many people saying the same.
Now, I dont know how loud is that sound people are saying. I can hear a bit of what I believe is my HD nowadays when my room is very quiet and the console is on. But I believe that if it was something to worry it would have showed some problems already. And the problems I had I believe are just about the SO instability (that is actually a lot more stable now, after the last updates).
Pretty good video really showcasing just how weird an issue it is. Do you happen to have a friend by chance that has Kinect? I'd LOVE to see a similar video with it plugged in to see if it really stops making the sound.
Or is that a Kinect there on your desk?
I've only got the original Kinect, and I don't know anyone local who has one.
While I'm super curious as well, I'm content to wait a week or two and see if reports come in that people are getting back units from Microsoft that don't make the noise.
